https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik I'm a swamp possum with a mitten-shaped heart. en-us 2021-01-12 14:35:10 UTC 2025-04-21 19:52:51 UTC hello@padlet.com abordelon https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084003844 I think my hobby that brings me the most serenity is taking long, impromptu walks through nature.  Here's a photo of a time I ended up somewhere in the forest around Lake of the Clouds and found a ton of different species of mushrooms.]]> 2021-01-13 17:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084003844 abordelon https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084045432 My cat came to me at a time where I didn't know how much I needed her type of love.  She's small, well-mannered, and very, very soft.  She lives in my hometown of Thibodaux, Louisiana with my parents and baby sister.  I think she's become an emotional support animal for them since our dog passed away in 2018.  ]]> 2021-01-13 17:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084045432 abordelon https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084076559 There are a lot of colors and foods and movies and etc. that I like.  These are all temporal.  However, my love for my two younger sisters will last much longer than my time on this Earth.  They are my favorite humans, and I am so grateful we get to walk together as family.  (Also pictured is my cat hating Christmas.)]]> 2021-01-13 17:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084076559 abordelon https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084120051 Home is a funny word for me.  I think I consider Mackinac Island my home more than any place, but there are 21 years of my life that were formed and traumatized and lifted up and beaten down and wholly loved in the swamp.  It is bittersweet spending this winter back where I came from, but I think I have a lot of healing to do here and maybe also some amends to make.]]> 2021-01-13 17:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084120051 abordelon https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084147703 We spend so much of our lives thinking about what is coming next.  It takes away the sweetness of now and the sacredness of the past.  But also, we cannot deny that essential part of our humanity that thinks in these terms of "future," "goals," and "ambitions."  It's an interesting balance we have the luxury of exploring as we age.  I hope my future consists of continuing to be of service to the Earth and its inhabitants.  It's why my soul here.]]> 2021-01-13 17:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1084147703 mblakeslee2 https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1096604780 2021-01-18 04:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abordelon/gc1ojjfind15hcik/wish/1096604780
